Comment
VG. 63; Grolle 19.3.10William reigned in Bavaria as William I, and in Holland as William VI (the sixth Count of Holland named William). His coins are often attributed as "William VI of Bavaria" which, strictly speaking is not correct.
Interesting fact
The ¼ Groat "¼ Lion" coin from County of Holland (Dutch States) made of Silver weighing 0.65 g is interesting because it was issued during the reign of William VI ND (1411) and features a lion on one side, which was a symbol of strength and power in medieval times.
